Hela's divine temple.
Hela, upon learning that Qin Shilei had actually advanced to the Master realm, displayed a rare look of astonishment.
"King Qin An is truly a being like a favored child of destiny!"
"No, he is a more monstrous existence than a favored child of destiny."
"While there are many geniuses across the myriad realms, there has never been a legend of one becoming a god within a hundred years."
"If this person can remember my past kindness to him, perhaps I can safely pass through my great tribulation."
Hela's initial act of showing favor and providing key information for his advancement to the Master realm was merely a casual move, a mere pawn in her grand strategy.
In her calculations, this pawn would never break through to the Master realm within a hundred years. Unexpectedly, he now possessed the qualifications to stand on par with her.
Hela pondered for a moment, then summoned a waiting believer. "Find a way to inform King Qin An that this deity has prepared a modest gift and will personally pay a visit to congratulate him on his successful advancement to the Master realm."
The bishop of the divine temple looked astonished but quickly responded, "As you command!"
Meanwhile, Odin, upon hearing that Qin Shilei had become a god, flew into a furious rage.
After venting his anger, he consoled himself, "Hmph, so what if he advanced to the Master realm? Haven't I killed Master Six-Star gods before? A mere Master One-Star scrub, wouldn't I have destroyed him with a flick of my wrist? Just you wait."
While the outside world was abuzz with the news of Qin Shilei's advancement to the Master realm, Qin Shilei, accompanied by his three wives, was testing his strength after the breakthrough.
The most noticeable aspect of advancing to the Master realm was the possession of a divine kingdom or a mustard seed space capable of nurturing all things.
With such a space, a Master realm powerhouse became extremely difficult to kill, as they could retreat into their personal domain at any moment.
Unless one was a master of spatial arts, it would be exceptionally hard to kill a Master hiding within their spatial domain.
Qin Shilei had already achieved this level of spatial control after obtaining his blessed land.
However, his blessed land's abilities had significantly improved, making its capacity for trapping and eliminating enemies even stronger.
Qin Shilei first tested the "Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth" attribute.
In the eyes of An Qian and the others, their husband was rapidly growing, soon towering over the adjacent mountain. He stopped growing when he reached nearly five hundred meters tall.
His physique had increased nearly fivefold compared to before his advancement, but Qin Shilei discovered that his current strength and speed were far more than five times greater.
*Boom!*
With a casual sword strike, rocks flew, and a vast canyon appeared in the middle of the mountain to his right, splitting it in two.
"Heaven-Breaking Sword!"
The earth shook, and dust billowed!
After the dust settled, the mountain, three to four hundred meters high, had vanished. In its place, a massive chasm, tens of meters wide, stretched out, disappearing into an unfathomable depth.
No wonder the Master realm was referred to as the divine realm; with such power, moving mountains and filling seas was no longer a mere legend.
"Instantaneous Teleportation!"
Qin Shilei's figure suddenly appeared ten kilometers away.
"Lightning Escape!"
His form transformed into a bolt of lightning, and he rapidly fled into the distance.
In a mere tenth of a second, Qin Shilei had traveled over a hundred kilometers away from An Qian and the others, reaching half the speed of his elemental form before his advancement.
The cooldown time was a mere ten seconds.
A quick calculation revealed that with Lightning Escape, he could travel nearly thirty-six thousand kilometers in an hour.
If he were to activate the elementalization attribute as well, his speed would increase severalfold.
With such astonishing speed, even without using teleportation arrays, he could quickly circle the Blue Star once.
Qin Shilei then tested his ability to absorb living beings into his blessed land, which was now tens of times faster than before.
This made transferring the survivors on the Blue Star to Amelia a feasible plan.
In summary, Qin Shilei's current strength allowed him to easily defeat ten versions of his pre-advancement self.
Moreover, he still had one attribute that had not been refreshed and fixed.
[Perform Attribute Refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Calm Heart (Red): Maintain absolute calmness at all times.
Growing Stronger in Battle (Red): As combat time increases, strength continuously enhances, up to double.
Thunder God Body (Gold): The ultimate physique of lightning. Gods are thwarted, and all evils are repelled! Lightning cultivation speed increases by threefold, and the power of lightning abilities and combat skills increases by threefold.
Gold, goodbye gold!
After fixing the Thunder God Body attribute, Qin Shilei discovered that the power of his ultimate skills, such as Heaven-Breaking Sword and Thunder Roars Nine Heavens, had increased by threefold.
However, the speed of Lightning Escape had not increased threefold, only by a mere twenty percent, for reasons unknown.
After testing his strength post-advancement, Qin Shilei and his companions returned.
Upon their arrival at the King Qin An's mansion, Tan Anguo and Zhang Qiang were already there to meet them.
After offering their congratulations, Tan Anguo spoke, "Your Highness, you have advanced to the Master realm, comparable to a divine being. Should you consider proclaiming yourself Emperor, allowing our Great Xia's prestige to resound across the Blue Star?"
Qin Shilei shook his head. "There is no rush for this matter. In a few months, Master-level powerhouses and even King-level powerhouses from other worlds will be able to come to our Blue Star through spatial rifts. Until this hidden danger is resolved, proclaiming oneself Emperor is meaningless."
Tan Anguo spoke again, "The matter of proclaiming Emperor is entirely up to Your Highness's discretion. However, we at the King Qin An's mansion plan to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate your advancement to the Master realm and express our joy. What do you think?"
Qin Shilei nodded. "Very well, you arrange it. Just ensure good defenses are in place, lest foreign races exploit any weaknesses for sabotage."
At that moment, a member of the Information Department knocked and entered. "Reporting to Your Highness, a message has come from the front lines stating that demons wish to visit Your Highness."
Everyone present was bewildered.
Demons wanting to communicate with humans? This was unprecedented.
Through the messenger's explanation, a large group of demons had suddenly appeared at the front lines. Upon encountering personnel from King Qin An's mansion, they identified themselves as emissaries sent by the Great Demon Alens, wishing to visit Prince Qin An.
Qin Shilei pondered for a moment. "Inform the front lines that I will be there shortly. I want to see what this Great Demon intends."
He then said a few words to Tan Anguo and the others before rising and flying into the distance.
An hour later, Qin Shilei had arrived above the city named Saint Peter.
Not far from the city, two groups were in a tense standoff.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Upon seeing Qin Shilei, the evolved individuals immediately bowed in greeting.
"No need for formalities!"
Qin Shilei waved to the members of Dark Night and looked up at the group of demons opposite them.
They were a group of hideous demons, standing three meters tall, with bulging muscles, two horns on their heads, and fleshy wings on their backs.
Their numbers were only seventy to eighty, but over half of them were Platinum experts.
"Greetings, Prince Qin An. I bring greetings from the Great Demon Alens to Your Highness!"
The sturdiest demon stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
Qin Shilei got straight to the point. "As emissaries, what business do you have with me?"
"Our Great Demon wishes to speak with you directly."
Seeing that Qin Shilei did not object, the demon leader took out a mirror and infused it with demonic energy to activate it.
A beam of white light shot out from the mirror. A ripple flashed in mid-air, and a handsome, distinguished man in formal attire appeared in the sky.
Everyone behind Qin Shilei showed expressions of surprise. They had never expected this Great Demon to look like this; his appearance completely overturned their impression of demons.
